Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

He Li does indeed have a solution.

Just now, he had realized what the strange energy within King Yu Fu of Shu was, and he happened to have the power to suppress it.

The reason for not helping Yu Fu immediately...

There are two reasons for this.

Firstly, the altar was right in front of them, and He Li knew that Yu Fu himself would definitely want to try the altar first.

After all, even if a wizard confirmed their identities, Yu Fu was still unfamiliar with them and couldn't possibly be completely at ease with them.

If we directly help him deal with his problems...

If things go wrong, Yu Fu might suspect that they have a problem or even that the dark energy is related to them.

Therefore, I won't help immediately...

Choosing to help Yu Fu after he failed to solve the problem using the altar, even though Yu Fu still had doubts, was a choice he made himself.

In contrast, He Li proactively offered assistance...

He'll be less suspicious if he makes the choice himself.

He Li's second reason for not immediately helping was that he also wanted to see how the altar was activated...

At the same time, he was also curious to see if activating this altar, which seemed to be related to the Fire Ancestor, would bring him any new discoveries or allow him to successfully contact the Fire Ancestor.

Upon hearing He Li's words...

A hint of suspicion did flash in King Yu Fu's eyes, but joy was more prominent than anything else.

After all, he couldn't be sure that the altar could help him solve his problems. Now that He Li was there, he had more options and a higher chance of survival.

He was naturally very happy.

So he immediately replied, "Alright, if the altar is truly useless, then I'll leave it to you, young man."

With a slight bow, Yu Fu stepped forward...

When he arrived at the center of the altar...

The guards then retreated.

The wizards each went to different parts of the altar and took out materials that faintly emitted a firelight, such as spiritual plants, ores, or even a little blood from special monsters.

He Li could sense that these things contained a pure and intense fire power.

The wizards must have spent a considerable amount of time and effort collecting these treasures.

Of course, the materials are not the key point.

The key point is that as the wizards placed these materials or whole plants into the altar, or ground up ores, or placed monster blood in a small cauldron while chanting incantations...

hum! ! !

In an instant, He Li noticed that the temperature around the altar began to rise gradually.

And in the dim void, tiny specks of light, like sparks, began to appear.

Those... are fire spirit energy!

As the fire spirit energy increased, the withered plants in the long-abandoned altar turned to ashes, and the ancient totems hidden under the vegetation were fully revealed.

Those seemingly randomly piled and arranged long stones placed in the center of the altar...

It is like a red-hot iron block emitting a red glow.

At the center of the altar, King Yu Fu of Shu, standing next to a long stone, looked increasingly pale.

He seemed somewhat unwell.

But he did not speak to stop the wizard.

But then, in the next moment...

boom!!!

Within the altar, the long stones, piled up haphazardly, suddenly burst into flames like burning firewood under the influence of the totem below.

The dazzling, scorching firelight illuminated an area of ​​about a hundred miles around almost instantly.

And that towering flame...

Within the clouds, a blurry figure, tall and imposing like a god, emerged, gazing down upon the fish-like creature on the altar…

Visibly, the fish's pale face quickly turned red, as if it were being roasted by scorching flames.

Meanwhile, on Yu Fu's body...

Real fog also kept emerging.

He Li was somewhat surprised and suspicious, because he realized that the mist was not simply water vapor...

The mist seemed to contain all sorts of negative "energy" from the fish-like creature's body, such as illness and injury, as if an invisible flame was burning away the bad things on its body.

Yu Fu's condition also began to improve.

Is this the power of the Fire Ancestor?

He Li was surprised, and Yu Ji beside him also spoke up: "I didn't expect the Fire Ancestor to have such power..."

"His flames can burn away all the negative energy within living beings. No wonder the evil entities feared his power after he created the flames."

"only……"

Yu Ji frowned; she noticed something was amiss.

He Li continued, "You noticed too? Yes, Yu Fu's condition is improving..."

"But only on the surface."

"The black energy within his body, and the erosion it caused to his body, did not disappear, but... the flames of the Fire Ancestor did have a suppressive effect."

"And this flame is somewhat like adrenaline, so Yu Fu didn't notice anything unusual for a while."

"I estimate that the current King of Shu, Yu Fu..."

"I feel like I'm in better shape than ever before."

As he spoke, he shook his head to himself.

Yu Ji nodded in agreement with silence, but soon she couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "The Fire Ancestor's flames, though powerful, have limitations, so they couldn't save Yu Fu..."

"And what about you? What's your method?"

"Can you really save him?"

The fact that Yu Ji asked this question shows that she didn't try to pry into He Li's inner thoughts directly by opening the app.

He Li shook his head slightly after hearing this.

"I can't cure it either!"

"Then you..." Yu Ji was somewhat surprised.

He Li shrugged: "Although I can't cure it completely, I can at least bring him back to normal..."

He paused for a moment, then shook his head: "There is no way to completely solve the problem of the fish and ducks. This is something that all humans and even all living beings must face."

"You should know that too."

"And my power... is merely to leave behind a 'spark' of continued resistance within them."

"However..." He Li frowned.

Yu Ji pressed further, "But what?"

"However, something's not right!" He Li replied, "Yu Fu, as the King of Shu, shouldn't be acting this way."

He frowned in thought, and Yu Ji, her beautiful eyes flickering, replied in a low voice after a moment's consideration, "Could it be... that some other being deliberately did something to King Yu Fu of Shu?"

"For example... a collection of evil thoughts?"

"I had my doubts too!" He Li nodded.

"It seems highly likely at present. The collective evil is evolving and growing, so they must also want to destroy all living beings. Therefore, they might resort to some underhanded tactics..."

At this point, seeing that the flames erupting from the altar were beginning to weaken, He Li changed the subject.

"Let's not talk about that now."

"Anyway, it's just speculation and we can't be sure, but compared to that, it seems like we're on the right track right now."

"This altar really is related to the Fire Ancestor. Through Yu Fu and the others, we can complete our mission, and then it won't be long before we can return... um?"

Before he could finish speaking, He Li's gaze sharpened.

"What's wrong?" Yu Jihu asked.

He Li remained silent for a moment, then shook his head to indicate that he was alright.

But Yu Ji wasn't stupid. She was certain that He Li had discovered or figured out something, and it was probably not something good, which was why his expression had changed.

Since He Li wouldn't say anything, she secretly activated her synchronization technique on him.

If it were in the past...

It's highly unlikely that He Li would be aware that Yu Ji was using supernatural powers on him.

The biggest difference between Yu Ji's supernatural powers and those of other supernatural powers is that her supernatural powers are completely without leaving a trace. Under normal circumstances, you would not be able to detect anything unusual.

This is why Yu Ji didn't notice even though he was in sync with the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Court in the future.

However, things are different now than they used to be.

He has already comprehended the Dao of Body Transformation.

Although I only grasped a tiny bit of it...

But he had ultimately dealt with heaven and earth, the world, and touched upon the rules and the root of the so-called "Tao," which meant that he could perceive any change in power.

This includes Yu Ji's supernatural powers.

Therefore, He Li had already noticed when Yu Ji used the synchronization technique on him.

However, He Li did not say anything.

Because for him, there were no secrets he couldn't reveal to Yu Ji, not even the secret of being a transmigrator... since even the Heavenly Dao already knew about it...

He himself didn't care.

Furthermore, He Li actually wanted Yu Ji to share his thoughts about spying on him.

Because there were some things he found difficult to say aloud...

He wanted Yu Ji to know for himself.

That's why he didn't interfere, and the instant Yu Ji synchronized with He Li, a flood of He Li's inner thoughts and many secrets rushed into her mind...

As she began to process this information, Yu Ji's facial expressions became more varied...

The expressions ranged from shock, confusion, panic, seriousness, shyness, dissatisfaction, and even hostility!

And at this moment, the power of the altar...

It seems that it has been completely exhausted!
